Having practiced yoga on and off since the 90s in 2006 I began the British Wheel of yoga foundation course. My eyes were opened to the depth and vastness of yoga in all it’s forms. I was fortunate to travel in India and New Zealand between 2007 – 2009 and sought a wide range of yoga classes with traditional and travelling teachers including Sivananda, Ashtanga, Satyananda, philosophy, meditation and kirtan. During this time of intensive yoga practice I decided that yoga teacher training was the next step. I trained both in India and London. The Sivananda course was a yogic immersion at Sivananda Kutir, next to the Ganges. We learnt the Bhagavad Gita by chanting the scriptures, practiced karma yoga, sang kirtan and meditated daily. Living and breathing yoga 24/7 was a deep, life changing and moving experience. On return to the UK I trained with Conrad at Yoga Professionals, a thorough course with focus on philosophical understanding, postural work and class structuring. The combination of these two TTCs gives me experience of yoga from the esoteric and spiritual end of the spectrum to the nuts and bolts of anatomy and physiology, health and safety! My teaching draws on knowledge and experience gained from the many amazing movement, dance and yoga teachers I am blessed to have studied with, this brings a unique flavour to my classes, workshops and retreats.
